Ceranemota partida

Distinguished from other Ceranemota species by geographic restriction to northern Colorado combined with adult flight period spanning July, September, and October. Wingspan of 36–41 mm provides a size reference. Definitive identification requires examination of genitalia or other specialized morphological features not described in general sources.

Medium-sized moth with wingspan of 36–41 mm. Specific wing pattern, coloration, and body morphology details are not documented in available sources.

Specific habitat preferences are undocumented. Based on the single known locality in northern Colorado, it likely occupies montane or subalpine environments typical of that region.

Recorded only from northern Colorado, North America. The species has a highly restricted known range with no confirmed records from other localities.

Adults active in July, September, and October. This multi-peak flight pattern suggests either partial bivoltinism or extended emergence period, though the exact phenology remains unclear.

Larval stage and pupal characteristics are undescribed. Oviposition timing, larval development period, and overwintering stage are unknown.

Adult flight activity occurs during late summer and autumn months. Nocturnal habits presumed based on family characteristics, but direct observations are lacking.
